Codd bottles

[I'llhavethat1]

Just curious which company had the machines to fulfill that capacity/demand at the time?  Any thoughts?  US?

I did a bit of research. The last link blew me away.

Have fun with the links.

 Lots of the Codd bottle marbles were bullet mold marbles.  Codd also made and sold the marbles for his type bottles. 

Cuba was a big producer and use of Codd bottles into the 1960's or later.

Ron, very nice examples, LOVE the light purple one. Did they ever make a red one? I did not know a lot of them came from Cuba, learned something new.  Chuck G---

There are some more good examples of these bottles in the "Show us your Bottles" thread that some of us shared if you wanted to check them out, Chuck 😊

So if:

"... in 1873 he perfected his globe-stoppered bottle. "

that would be pretty early in the grand scheme of making marbles (or glass globes).  Interesting links, thanks

I have never heard of seen a red one.  Clear, green, purple and blue there are probably some root beer or brown colored ones.
